Dental Records
To further ensure a seamless transition into our practice at Dental Health & Wellness Boston it is also important for you to request your prior dental office provide us a copy of any existing X-rays and dental records. In order to facilitate this, a blank records release form is available as a PDF. This release can be printed and completed before sending to your previous dentist and has already been completed with our information for your convenience.
Your First Visit
In order to get a complete picture of your present oral health, we schedule all new patients for a series of two appointments. The first appointment is for a cleaning and radiographic survey. The second appointment is the examination to evaluate and document any past, existing, or potential dental problems. The teeth and gums are checked for decay, and gum/bone disease. And oral cancer screening, bite analysis and digital X-ray diagnosis are performed and discussed. Utilizing the information we have gathered, we’ll then develop a treatment plan specific to your needs.
Dental Insurance
At Dental Health & Wellness Boston we will work to make your dental goals possible. If you have insurance, we can submit claims to your insurance company directly and apply all payments made to your account. Co-pays and deductibles are requested at the time of service and any balance remaining after insurance payments will be billed to you directly.
Insurance benefits can be very confusing with the maximums, co-insurance rates and exclusions. It is our pleasure to research your plan to help you understand what it means for you. Please feel free to contact us with your specific plan information so we can review it with you. We are here to help answer any questions and assist in any way possible. We look forward to meeting you.
Financing Available
Companies such as CareCredit offer accounts similar to credit cards specifically to be used for medical and dental expenses. They often offer many no interest loan options for six to 12 months for qualified applicants. As with most financing, we have found that with the recent changes in economic climate, their qualification process has become more stringent, depending on employment history and credit scores.
